Dog person. Avid reader, and avid consumer of news. Recovering lawyer. Can detect BS from afar. While very liberal, I can have a good conversation with the few remaining sane conservatives.

The flurry of anti-Trump rulings suggests that, for now at least, the courts are mostly holding firm as a bulwark against the administration’s authoritarian power grab. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Listen, I don't want to presume to be speaking for other people, but: If you are feeling overwhelmed by the stupidity, the chaos, the vile fanaticism, the immeasurable damage and suffering, the specter of global turmoil, just know that I am feeling that too. Because this is just an insane situation.
“While this is a tragedy, it’s also the new reality. We must respond with both purpose and force.”

This is obviously the correct – and only viable – response, and it is based on a clear-sighted analysis of what is happening. But what an absolute disaster this all is, on a global scale.
Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

People keep saying Senator Booker's filibuster was meaningless and people who were moved by it are naive and gullible but I lived and organized in a south where this record stood and slavery and Jim Crow cast a long shadow and I tell you Booker taking that record means something.
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

Unfortunately, it looks like the big D Democrats in Congress have chosen to submit, or actively collaborate.

the number of strangers finding this and telling me "hey, if we want to make Bluesky shitty and awful, that's our right! this site isn't just for good posts you know" is wild. there's a great website for yall wanna do, you will love it. all the shit you can eat. it's called twitter
we are unfortunately experiencing a giant wave of "Bluesky is for talking about Twitter." it's not. you wanna talk about Twitter you know how to get there, live your truth! Bluesky is for the following things:
1) good jokes
2) interesting or useful information
3) hog on main

Thank you President Biden, for commuting the death sentences of most federal prisoners. We should be better than killing as justice, especially when our courts are so very flawed.

Remember all the folks deeply worried about "the twitter files"?

they were sure it was mortal peril for social-media execs to be in communication with the federal government?

As @mmasnick.bsky.social notes, they're *awfully* quiet about Musk's dual roles right now www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Much like they have done throughout the pandemic, the opinion sections of major papers are killing people by normalizing unqualified quacks with deadly ideas.

This is so embarrassing. And boots taste terrible.
Cenk fantasizing that Elon Musk’s two second reply means that he is going to hold some important influence in Trump’s gov is a confirmation of my new theory that most political pundits really just wanna be told they’re important and cute
